A total of seven people were shot in New Orleans Friday evening, two of them fatally in separate shootings about a mile and a half apart.

The first shooting occurred at about 6:15 at Dryades and Third streets, where a black sedan drove up and opened fire on a group of people. Six were shot, including a 37-year-old woman who died at the hospital. NOPD Chief Michael Harrison said she was an innocent bystander who was killed when a stray bullet was fired onto her home.

In the second shooting about an hour later, an armed man entered a T-Mobile in the 500 block of St. Andrew Street and tried to rob the store when he was shot and killed by a customer. The shooter and both firearms were seized and the investigation is ongoing.

The family of the NOPD officer killed in the line of duty last week, says his life's goal was to make New Orleans a better city It's difficult for Kelly Legier not to cry thinking about her 29 year old nephew, Ofc. Marcus McNeil, and the loved ones he leaves behind.
